Learning and Sharing
We want to support better listening and accountability across the youth sector. During Phase Two, Collective Discovery are working with us and our partners to learn what’s involved in better listening, and to share what they surface with young people and other organisations.
Learning from Phase Two
The following blogs, tools and reports capture what’s been learnt so far.
Collective Discovery are running workshops across the three years of this phase of the fund, exploring issues such as transferring power to young people, working with former beneficiaries, paying young people, measuring the impact of listening work, and other themes which emerge from our partners’ work. These workshops will be the basis for reports which will be shared here. You can sign up for workshops by emailing edd.fry@blagravetrust.org
In addition to annual reports on the learning emerging from the Fund, Collective Discovery are producing reports on specific aspects of our partners’ learning. All these reports are published here as well as under ‘Our Resources’.
A TLF Practice Paper exploring how and why organisations pay young people. Using experience and expertise from across the sector, this paper looks at different reasons and mechanisms for payments, and suggests some questions all organisations should engage with when considering pay and participation.
